From the Chicago Tribune.
There was a wedding in Wisconsin last
week. Weddings in Wisconsin are not infre-
quent, but there WAS that about this particu
lar liking of two young lives with their &C
accompanying portion OF this worlds goods
that served to make II rather peculiar The
groom, in anticipation Of the bappy event,
had written some time previously to his
father, a venerable down East mir lister of MIR.
Wesley's church, inviting him 10 come out
and perform the ceremony. While IA set his
coming was uncertain, the parents Of the
bride entered into negotiations with their
home cleTgyman-a gentleman OF the L nj
versalist faith-who readily consented to do
the JOINER work, and, a. II setMs, forthwith
considered bimself engaged. Ia the fullness
OF time the good Methodist brother announced
his intention to he on hand, and on hand he
was the day before the wedding was to take
place. Half an hour later il became unpleaA-
antly apparent that 80 far rs officiating clergy

embarrassment of riches The result was
that the Methodist brother called upon the

Let Their Action BE Legal.

what does select council mean by the
nenee Of resolution adopting Engineer
Oruee' plan No. 2 T" for the improvement
q water works, etc. Their action is
e1nnrly nugatory, as will be seen by this
orisf recital. On Wednesday, July 6. the
question Of adopting plan first came be-
fure councils, and q resolution adopting
that Of Engineer Croes was passed in
common council. When this resolution
reached select council, it was defeated by
. tie vote, those voting against it being
Nessrs. Bolenius, Remley and White.
An adjourned meeting Of select council
Was held on July :, and the resolution was
aesin defeated by tie vote, those opposing
e being Messrs. Bolenius, Remley, White
and Wise. On Tuesday evening at another
adjourned meeting Select Councilman
BorRer moved reconsideration Of the
QUESTION, he having been absent from
provious meetings. His vote was cast in
tho Affirmative, and it was announced that
the measure had passed.
II ought to be plain to the least expert.
enced parliamentarian that the action of
eelect council is for naught. On page 22s
of the digest of city ordinances will he
found this language.
No motion for . reconsideration shall be
permitted unless made and recorded by
nombors who voted with the majority on
Tie original question, or, when council was
equally divided, by members who voted in
The negative but no motion for areconsiders.
ton 01 any vote shall bo In order unless
made at the same meeting ct which the vote
Was taken, or at the next meeting, nor then,
ie the bill, resolution report, amendment or
common council.
It is plain that the action of select coun.
Gil is in direct contravention of this. Mr..
Riddle moved reconsideration at the first
y adjourned meeting, and Mr.. Berger at The
second. Neither of these gentlemen hat
legal ground for their acts, according Il
tho rules governing select council.
II this WAS not enough of cloud on tn
. laqxfty Of the action of select council,
doubt may be cast upon the whole meet
ing by this provision in the city digest
page 231
When either Of the councils shall ad our
to meet ct any other than the stated meeting
or when the president of either council shal
call . special meeting (Which he may d
when he judges It expedienD the Othe
council shall be summoned to meet at tn
same time.
With these two serious defects in tn
work of select council, its action was con
trary to law, and any citizen might STOP
BY injunction, the procedure to carry ou
the plan adopted. Let new meeting o
both branches be called specially for tn
consideration Of this question, and let lega
action be taken or none at all. 1t is tn
height of folly to build upon foundation
that may be undermined at moment
notice.

OIL % . Fuel For Locomotives.

There are several things in the way Of
the introduction of oil as fuel for locomo-
tives. DR.. Dudley, the expert of the
Pennsylvania railroad, says that the
experiments are interesting and successful,
but he does not attach very great inn
pOrtance to them, owing to the present
lack Of oil at suitable price. If coal were
to be entirely displaced by the use of oil ac-
cording to the methods now used in Russia,
the demand for the Pennsylvania railroad
company alone would exhaust the supply
within few years and would at once send
up the price beyond the point at which it
would he profitable to make change. The
Pennsylvania railroad now uses about
5000 tons of coal day, and the amount Of
oil necessary to take the place of this
would be equal to about one-third of the
production of petroleum in this country at
present.
The oil used is an inferior grade, useless
for anything but fuel, and found in the
natural gas regions of Ohio. As there has
been no market for it, no effort has been
made to develop it, but it is believed to
exist in very large quantities, and the de-
maud may bring to light.
Colonel Hahn, of the New York elevated
roads, who has taken much interest in the
matter, has ordered the apparatus for two
locomotives. He says that he has noticed
that " the fireman had to keep a yer,
sharp eye open in order to make sure tha
there was no excess Of oil used, resultin,
